Eli's First Easter 2011

Well it was our first Easter in Greenwood and it was wonderful! What a great time to celebrate that Christ has Risen! It was beautiful weather. We started off the night before explaining the story of Crucifiction of Christ and then how 3 days later he rose from the tomb to Noah. Even though he didn't understand one bit, he listened and it was good practice for the years to come! That morning we woke up to the Easter bunny bringing us just a small Easter basket filled will some fun things. Then we went to Northside Baptist Church, which is where on Easter Sunday, Brian and I decided that this was where we were going to join and make our home church. Church was awesome, the music and the message was one of the best I've ever heard on Easter Sunday and I thought I would never say that! Then onto lunch with the Vahjen Family, which was very yummy. Then off to our very first Pete's (Grandpa's) Easter egg hunt. Noah loved it! He was so good at it! Although, he looked like towards the end he was about to pass out due to the heat and running around! The crazy thing is that at last year's egg hunt Noah was crawling! How time flies! It was a wonderful Easter! What a blessing!

Noah's 2nd Birthday

Well I will have to say Noah turning 2 was a tough time for us. We are so thankful he is a healthy, happy little boy, but we just don't want him to grow up so fast. We decided just to have a family birthday party. It was so nice to have everyone up to our house in Greenwood. Everyone came to celebrate this special occasion! Noah was so cute, after he opened each gift, he went and gave each person who gave him the gift a hug. We are so very proud of our little "baby" Noah! He is so entertaining and a people person with lots of love to give! In these pictures Eli is 7 months and he is just a precious little boy!
